  Well what can I say about hole park.

  It's the most magical, beautiful bungalow and grounds we've stayed in. It sleeps 7, there was only two of us plus 2 dogs, but we never felt as if it was too big. We were always warm and cosy. The bungalow is very well laid out...the master bedroom is huge with lovely double doors leading onto a balcony...there's an ensuite with bath and shower and there's plenty of storage room too. The bed was so comfy. The main bathroom has the most wonderful shower which we used most of the time. We did have a peek at the other bedrooms which were all very roomy and beautiful. The kitchen was absolutely wonderful with soooo much room to store things and the window seat is lovely just to sit and look at the views. My favourite room is the dining/morning room with it's huge windows looking out to the gardens. Sitting there on a morning watching the sun come up over the lake was just so beautiful. There is another toilet and sink off this room which is handy if there are a few more people staying there. There is a utility that you walk into from the front door which is great when you have Been out all day and you can just leave your boots there. We fed our dogs in there too. The grounds were also huge with a wrap around garden and then a beautiful laid lawn area with fencing all around. The lake is also the owners where their cows drink from, this is all fenced off so dogs or children can not get to it although we still had to watch our smaller dog as she did get through the fence a couple of times so we kept her to the top of the garden by the bungalow or on a long lead down the bottom. Perhaps a bit of wire fencing over the original fencing at the bottom would stop any small dogs getting through. We had a lovely warm welcome from the owners Sharon and Phil and a lovely basket of goodies waiting for us which was much appreciated. Everything about hole park was just fantastic so if you want solitude, relaxation and to just chill out and you don't mind travelling to places then this is the place to go. Our dogs loved it too and the weather was fabulous, we were very lucky to have the sunshine everyday.....thank you Sharon and Phil for letting out this fabulous place we will definitely be back.

  On the plus side, there were new carpets in the lounge and bedrooms.

  The large flagstones in the entrance and kitchen dinner were lovely. The furniture in the lounge was dated but exactly as on the Web page. The white goods were OK. There were lots of little things that needed to be seen to. Not enough mugs, small glasses, forks, only a huge frying pan, so annoying after a couple of days. The bedrooms, the twin room bathroom was so small it was unusable. The bedding and towels were so rough we used our beach towels. Now the outside a white table with three chairs all in need of a good wash, a wooden table with benches that needed a good scrub and a coat of varnish two ashtrays still full on the window ledges, weeds growing in the flagstones. General untidiness. So only used as a way to the washing line. On the positive side the lawn had been mowed. I will not comment on the spiders or fly's as this is a very old property and is to be expected to some degree. We enjoyed the pub, parking was fine. This property just needs more attention to the small details inside and rather more to the rear garden area.

  I dont usually send reviews, but felt we had to after this holiday.

  From arriving early at the property, thanks to Sharron and cleaners to the sadness of having to leave this amazing location. Its more than just the property, the setting is amazing in lovely gardens and very quiet. Everything and more we could wish for within the property. One little issue was very quickly sorted, which wasnt the fault of the owners. A mechanical issue, spare part was quickly obtained and fault sorted. The owners Sharron and Phil are such a friendly couple coming to meet us and say hello, any issues please let us know. We were invited to attend a milking session and even feed the young calves. Wouldnt hessitate to go back, now the cat is out of the bag to this amazing place I’m sure we will have trouble in future booking it. You’ll be sorry if you dont. PS one thought we had and mentioned to Sharron was the lack of a hoover to pick up bits through out the week. Her reply was your on holiday we didnt want you to have to feel you needed to hoover up just relax. Thanks for an amzing break. Bobby says Hi!.

  We have just returned home from an absolutely fabulous stay.

  There were 10 of us and an infant four generations in total. Every one of us loved our stay at Eastcott Farm. The house is a typical farmhouse filled with charm. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden was superb for all the children who spent hours playing games. We bought a small inflatable pool and spent a whole day in the garden. It is a great location, around 25 minutes from Bude which has a stunning beach and small town. Also close to other beaches and villages. Port Isaac is worth a visit. The pub next door to the house was a massive bonus and we spent several nights in there. David is a great host and is always around with advice on the area. His dog Barney loves children and is always waiting for his ball to be thrown. Would love to return here. Thanks so much David.

  This is a spacious and well-equipped rural house with a big garden.

  Very clean. Wifi is patchy due to the remote location, and you will need a car to access anywhere from here (the listing says Whitstone but it's actually North Tamerton). Perfect if you want to get away from it all. Please note that you cannot run more than 1 bath or shower simultaneously. We did not know this, and found out the hard way :D The owner lives on site and is around to help with any issues. In fact, he saved our holiday - our car broke down and we we couldn't find a garage anywhere around Bude with the capacity to help us. David, however, came to the rescue to we could continue our break! A real lifesaver. He also gave us plenty of advice on ways to make the most of our stay in the area.
